Summary/Abstract: According to Chantal Mouffe’s conception of agonistic pluralism I will analyse the role which one of Jenny Holzer artwork plays in hegemonic struggle. Lustmord. is the work produced in 1993 as an example of undermining the memory discourse about military action during Bosnian War. The artist places violence against women into the centre of war strategy thereby giving voice to the victims rather than to the winner. I hope to find out if Lustmord creates an agonistic dimension of public space.
